Abstract The field of speech processing is currently dominated by end-to-end (E2E) models, which utilize a single model to optimize directly towards the final objective function rather than optimizing multiple sub-models separately. This trend is particularly notable in automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this talk, we will provide an overview of E2E ASR models and discuss recent advancements from an industry perspective. Subsequently, we will examine the trend of E2E modeling beyond ASR, with applications such as multi-speaker ASR and simultaneous speech translation, where ASR traditionally serves as only one of several components. This trend ultimately unlocks multimodal intelligence by integrating speech capabilities into large language models (LLM). We will highlight the most recent developments in this area, which present unprecedented opportunities for the field.

General meetings have members divide into project groups. This meeting will have members work on the e-bike project. 1. Previous Updates (02/16): - Caleb is learning micro python to control the motor controller - Luke is finding chains, rubber wheels, sprocket, and method to connect them all - Daniel is looking for a power supply to test the motor. 2. New Updates (02/21): - John is working with Luke to select chain, sprocket, and wheel. i) Axle will be keyed. ii) Multiple shaft collars will hold the parts in place. - Luke and Matthew are creating models for mounting vertical bolt and axle. - Caleb is continuing to work on micro python code but is having difficulty due to a lack of knowledge. - No update from Daniel. - Xander is going to contact Daniel to make a CAD model - Jose and Devaughn have created a Github for code, have settled NFC, and are planning on printing an enclosure.
